Rachael Warren · Answer 1

WACC = 10 (1,500,000/3,000,000) + 12 (1,000,000/3,000,000) + 13 (500,000/3,000,000)

WACC = 5 + 4 + 2.17

WACC = 11.17%

Explanation:

WACC is a function of interest charged by each bank and the proportion of funds provided by each bank in relation to the total amount required by the investor.
